poem

 How to Write a Love Letter 

Don’t ever use the word love in a poem

Don’t smudge the stationary with your rouged lips

Or spritz the envelope with your eau de parfum 


You aren’t a magician

Those things only conjure 

Your holographic form 


What I need is the real thing


What I’m trying to say is:

Come over here and do it yourself

Kiss me

Tell me you _____ me.
